description

Abstract Lithium dienolates of saturated or α,β-unsaturated acids react with α-chloroketones provide a convenient method for preparation of highly sustituted β,γ-epoxyacids. These highly reactive compounds lead in most cases to variable ammounts of the corresponding β-lactones and allylic alcohols.
